Chapter 65 My Chinese Heart

On May 5, a cloudy day, in the morning at Yenching University, when the class bell rang, Ouyang Yun, dressed in military uniform, walked quickly into the easternmost classroom on the second floor of the teaching building with his handouts in his arms.Behind him, followed by Chu Tiange who was also in military uniform.

It was Gu Lianyun's idea to wear a military uniform to class, thinking that it would make the young man look more sturdy and help deter students.In fact, Ouyang Yun didn't really want to fool people with his military uniform, but when he was on the stage for the first time, he really didn't know what to do, so he did so.

The classroom was bustling with students, many of them had extra seats, and even Chu Tiange finally had to find a seat at the back.As class monitor Fan Wei yelled "stand up", the students stood up and bowed deeply to Ouyang Yun who stepped onto the podium.

Ouyang Yun returned a military salute sassyly, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please sit down." After everyone sat down, he glanced at everyone's faces, and when he saw Pan Meiren and Chen Jiayao, he nodded without a trace. Nodded, and then said: "Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Ouyang. The single name is a word cloud, and there is no word." Picking up the chalk, wrote his name on the blackboard, looked at it after writing, turned around and said: " I haven’t practiced chalk calligraphy, it’s ugly, please don’t make fun of it, students.”

"Pfft!" It's good that he didn't say this, but when he said it, some people couldn't help laughing.

Ouyang Yun didn't take it seriously, picked up the roster and looked at it, and said: "There are 35 people in the roster, and there are no less than [-] students sitting here, so we won't count names, let's go straight to class."

Putting down the roster, opening the handout, turning around and writing "Modern Medicine" on the blackboard, Ouyang Yun talked eloquently: "I think everyone should be very clear about the definition, origin and development of medicine. Then, we will focus on it in the future. Discuss modern medicine.

Medicine has a long history, such as traditional Chinese medicine in our country. The development and continuation of Chinese medicine can be said to be a miracle. There are so many ancient human civilizations around the world, such as ancient Egypt and ancient India. Only Chinese medicine has come down—and the concept of modern medicine has only emerged in the past few hundred years and was developed from ancient Greek medicine. Chinese medicine also plays an important role in it and has a profound impact on the pharmacology of modern medicine— At this point, he paused for a while, paying attention to the reactions of the students, and asked: "Looking at everyone's expressions, everyone seems to have a lot of doubts about my position on the relationship between traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. The next class will focus on the discussion. Next, let’s talk about ancient Greek medicine. Ancient Greek medicine had a great influence on later generations. In a certain sense, Roman medicine and medieval Arabic medicine are its continuations.The school of ancient Greece, represented by Hippocrates, abandoned theological explanations and sought to find the causes of diseases in nature and the human body. This school emphasized clinical observation, advocating prevention, and emphasizing measures that help the body recover naturally.These ideas are an important historical root of modern clinical medicine, and some of the ethical principles articulated in the Hippocratic Oath are still believed by doctors today...

"Now let's talk about modern medicine..."

Ouyang Yun had no experience as a teacher, so his first lecture seemed unremarkable. Fortunately, the things he prepared were novel enough to satisfy the students' curiosity, and more or less made up for this deficiency.When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said that he didn't expect to be so hard to be a teacher, and his throat was so dry that it was almost smoking. Taking advantage of the bell, he hurriedly said, "That's all for today, students. , goodbye!" Once the handouts were collected, they were ready to leave.

However, the students didn't let him go. After everyone bowed under the leadership of Fan Wei, they didn't know who shouted first: "Professor Ouyang, please sing a song?!"

"Sing!" He was stepping off the podium when he heard the proposal, he staggered and almost fell down. He secretly said that his voice is still singing, and if he sings again, he will catch fire.Arching his hands to everyone, he said, "Next time," pointing to his throat.

At this time, Pan Meiren blushed and squeezed out of the crowd with a thermos teacup in her hand. She didn't dare to look at his face and said in a low voice, "Professor, drink tea to moisten your throat."

The beauty offered her hospitality, not to mention the kind that she felt quite. Ouyang Yun naturally accepted it with a smile, thanked her, took a sip from the teacup, saw that the tea was warm, took another two sips, returned it to her, and said again Thank you, just as you were about to leave, a few girls blocked the door.

He wanted to ask Chu Tiange to rescue him, but this one was lucky. Standing with Chen Jiayao, he had completely forgotten his status as a teaching assistant, and booed among them: "I can prove that the professor's singing is really not bad!"

"Just sing "On the Water Side"!"

Ouyang Yun was surprised, and thought that he even knew "On the Water Side", and couldn't help but look at Pan Meiren, who blushed up to the neck, looked at him timidly, and quickly lowered his head.

Ouyang Yun didn't intend to blame her, and even felt a little happy——Pan Meiren gave him a really good feeling, maybe because there is no such girl in the 21st century, so her shyness fell into her eyes, which was particularly touching .She can tell her best friend what happened in the hospital, does that mean she is also interested in him?He smiled and said, "Let's sing one, the name of the song is "My Chinese Heart."

The students applauded.

Ouyang Yun smoothed his voice with his hand and sang: "

Rivers and mountains are only in my dreams,
The motherland has not been close for many years,

But no matter what, it won't change

my China Heart.

Although the dress is worn on the body,
My heart is still Chinese,

My ancestors have given me everything

Branded with Chinese seal.

Yangtze River, Great Wall,
Huangshan, the Yellow River,
weighs a thousand pounds in my chest.

Whenever, wherever,
As dear as my heart.

the blood that flows in my heart,

Surging the voice of China,
Even if you are born in a foreign country, it will not change

my China Heart. "

After singing, the students were still immersed in it, and many of them had tears on their faces, obviously deeply moved.The corridor was also full of students at this time, obviously they were all attracted by the singing, and it was unknown who applauded first, and then there was a wave of applause inside and outside the classroom.Everyone clapped and shouted loudly: "You sang so well, let's do another one!"

When Ouyang Yun was a special soldier, the few pastimes were karaoke and drinking and eating. After a long period of training, his voice was still passable.Originally, he just wanted to sing casually, but the song "My Chinese Heart" was written so well. As he sang, he naturally thought of the reality, and his feelings gradually became sincere. Even I was moved.He doesn't know how to sing songs anymore, but he has words stuck in his throat. He took advantage of the topic and said: "I won't sing songs anymore. Although songs can inspire people's spirits, they can't solve any practical problems. Do you know? I am more concerned now. What I want to do is to answer your questions, but unfortunately, none of you ask questions. Could it be that you understand what I just said? Or do you not have any opinions of your own? Learn, doubt first You have to ask, and you have to ask to learn. I am actually quite apprehensive about this title of professor. The reason why I have to muster up the courage to stand here is to hope that one or two genuine professors will appear among you, because Our country really needs it. How many people are there in the country? Forty million, how many children are there? Is there always 5000 million? But how many schools and universities are there in the country? How many universities are comparable to Western America? What about experts and professors? Take penicillin as an example, the British Alexander Fleming discovered this microbe, but what about us Chinese? I’m afraid most people don’t even know what microbes are. I admit that China has something worthy of us. The four proud inventions, the compass, gunpowder, movable type printing and papermaking, are all great inventions, but this only proves the wisdom of our ancestors, and today's history is created by us... ..."

When the class bell rang, Ouyang Yun realized that he had gone too far. He squeezed out of the classroom with his handouts in his arms. When he saw Gu Jiegang at the end of the crowd in the corridor, he couldn't help but feel very embarrassed. Sorry, I forgot the time."

Gu Jiegang smiled and said: "It's nothing, you speak very well, and I have benefited a lot from listening."

This is a real master, Ouyang Yun, a plagiarist, naturally dare not compare with him, even dare not, and sincerely apologized again, and then went downstairs with Chu Tiange.

As soon as they walked out of the teaching building, Leighton Stuart greeted them and said with a smile: "Mr. Ouyang seems to be very popular with the students. I think it is too little to arrange only two classes for you every week."

Ouyang Yun waved his hands hastily and said, "Principal, don't be joking. With this level of kid, it's already difficult for him to cope with two classes. If you add more, he will make a fool of himself."

Situ smiled, handed him a letter and said: "This is a letter from Conant, the president of Harvard University, who asked me to forward it to you. He hopes that you can visit Harvard at your convenience——Mr. Ouyang, you don't mind if I send your Can you send a paper to Principal Conant for review?"

Ouyang Yun smiled and didn't say anything. In his opinion, this was a good thing. It was like advertising "Penicillin"—the paper only mentioned some superficial things, and he didn't write about the key technology of mass production.

As an old private university in the United States, Harvard University enjoys a considerable reputation in the United States, and has produced many presidents. There is even a saying that "there is Harvard first, and then there is the United States". What an honor, but Ouyang Yun's reaction made him feel a little unbelievable. The young man didn't even rush to open the letter, but just thanked him and said that I would think about it, then bid him farewell and left. up.

This Ouyang Yun has stayed in the United States, so he doesn't know about Harvard, right?Seeing his tall and straight back, Situ couldn't help being puzzled.
